Mom Knows Daughter Can’t Eat Meat, Forces Her To Still Do It And Faces The Consequences

Gettingfamilyto actually accept, much less understand your dietary choices can be a chore. Older folks in particular often simply can’t understand a person not eating something for any reason, whether a moral obligation, religious restriction or even an actual medical inability. The results can, at times, be pretty explicit.

A vegan woman shared her experience with being forced to eat a steak and kidney pie and then immediately throwing up at the dinner table.We reached out to her via private message and will update the article when she gets back to us.

A steak and kidney pie is the last thing someone should serve a vegan

But that’s exactly what happened to a woman when her mother didn’t inform her aunt that she didn’t eat meat

There have been people who have rejected meat for thousands of years

While most people avoid animal organs if “real” meat is available, it’s important to remember that for much of history, we simply didn’t have as much food as we’d want. As a result, humans started using more and more parts of the animal, including the kidneys. Generally, not the most appetizing dish, it would often be used as an ingredient to bulk out better cuts, in, for example, the British classic, thesteak and kidney pie.

While more “old-fashioned” folks tend to see veganism as a modern phenomenon, or perhaps a rebellious fad, its origins are considerably older. Vegetarianism has been practiced in theIndian subcontinentsince as far back as 3300 BCE. While they might not have been as strict as modern vegans, it’s also important to note that the people of the past also had fewer products produced from animals, so this distinction was not as important.

The ancient Greeks (for example, Plutarch) and Romans (including Ovid and Seneca the Younger) also had noted individuals whoabstained from meatand some animal products. This is all to say that a variety of religions and schools of thought all came to a pretty similar conclusion at some point in the past, so veganism has the credentials to back it up.

Making someone eat against their will is horrible behavior

The real issue here is not the woman’s veganism, even if it’s unrelated to any ethical beliefs, it’s the fact that her mother seems to have no regard for her preferences. “Disagreeing” with someone’s dietary choices is already questionable, but then forcing them to eat something they literally can’t stomach is just cruel and abusive.

Rather, we have to understand that the woman who shared it was going through an immense amount of stress at this moment, not just due to the pie, although a poorly prepared kidney is its own hell, but due to the fact that her mother was no doubt controlling in many other ways. While she doesn’t give the details, “forcing” someone to eat requires a lot ofcoercive power, which the mother clearly has, given the results.
